Hi Wendy @wendykramer, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Have you had a chance to look around here on Connect? There is a lot of information on here from others who share your same diagnosis.
Since we are all so different it is hard to if HCM is the cause...some on here lose weight, some gain weight because they can't exercise.
I have posted a Mayo Clinic link to HCM, and if you have not read it before, you may find it interesting.

Although bloating and weight gain can have so many culprits...diet for one, I don't see it listed, but that does not mean it is not because of HCM.
Have you mentioned your concerns to your doctor?
Are you healthy and active otherwise?
What are some of your questions and concerns?
